shield Recommended update for python-kiwi
SUSE-SLE-Micro-5.5-2024-53

This update for python-kiwi fixes the following issues: - Add `partx` to module-setup of kiwi-lib (bsc#1216465) - Change partprobe fallback to partx (bsc#1216465): Informing the kernel about a new partition geometry can be done in a busy state and is also effective for new devices and new mounts based on the new geometry. busy state mounts of course will not see it until swap of the busy state but a complete refuse of operation like it happens with blockdev is imho not required. Just as partprobe, partx is less restrictive on the busy state. That's why this commit changes the partprobe fallback to use partx instead of blockdev - Create live persistent storage without busy state (bsc#1216465): With the former logic the live ISO was already mounted when an eventual persistent storage partition was created. This leads to an issue on re-reading the partition table, not for all but several tools. This commit changes the order of tasks such that the setup of the persistent write storage is performed prior mounting the live ISO. In addition to this change an alternative method using blockdev to re-read the partition was added in case partprobe is not present. This also allows to get rid of the parted dependency which provides partprobe - Add alternative re-reading of the partition table (bsc#1216465):
